ABOUT

GDF.

Genevieve D. Franco is a writer, artist, and knowledge explorer. Otherwise, she loves to cook/bake, travel, garden, hike and camp.

Her purpose is storytelling, particularly as a means to merge the sciences and humanities. She is continuously experimenting with forms both visual and written.

Her work varies in nature, but primarily focuses on vibrantly depicted impressionist landscapes, often adorned with gold leaf to symbolize the beauty and value of our world. Her central goal is to use color to enhance the places she explores - in a way that is both realistic depiction and fantastical.

 

Aside from traditional oil on canvas pieces, she works with water-based media on paper, and creates digital paintings of imagined landscape scenes utilizing Photoshop.
